Lindsay's Got a Brand New Man

Lindsay's Got a Brand New Man

Lindsay Lohan sure hasn't wasted any time making herself heard since leaving rehab. She made sure to line up a few interviews and photoshoots fresh out of rehab before she gets back to work. LL talked to OK! Magazine about hitting rock bottom and her upcoming plans, and she revealed to InTouch that she has a new boyfriend and is in a much happier place after her stint in rehab. Here are highlights:

On dating:
Yes, I am seeing someone. His name is Riley. I am really happy and taking it day by day.

On her message to her fans:
I just want to apologize to any of my fans that look up to me, especially my younger fans, for setting the examples that I didn’t mean to set. That is one of the reasons that I want to change things. I don’t want to be known as that person. I have a younger sister and she looks up to me, too. All the negative stuff that gets said hurts my feelings, it hurts my sister, Ali, and my family. Maybe me not going out as much will help. I want to do what’s right for my family as well as what is right for me.

On giving back:
I’m planning a trip to Africa during the second week in December. I’m working with the American Red Cross, but it is not finalized yet.

As much as we wish LL didn't feel the need to start giving interviews 10 seconds after she left rehab, we are glad to see that she looks happy and healthy and seems to be thinking positively. Let's just hope she can keep things up.

In Touch Weekly (ITW): How will your life be different now?

Lindsay Lohan (L.L.): The biggest thing is not being in LA and staying away from the nightlife. Going out all the time was very self-destructive. Partying and having all of those pictures taken distracts from the work that I do. It’s not why I started acting. I didn’t get into acting to be written about. It kind of just happened — so I accept that it’s my life. But there are some things that I can do to make changes and grow up. I want to act like a woman rather than a teenager. I am doing the best I can.

ITW: You’d been at Cirque Lodge since August. Why did you stay longer than you needed to?

L.L.: There is that urge to want to leave early, obviously, and be back in the real world. But it was safer at Cirque and I was learning more. I felt it was necessary, and other people I worked with felt that it was important.

ITW: What was the hardest part about rehab?

L.L.: It was hard surrendering and having people tell me what to do. It was really humbling for me, but I liked how I was treated as a normal person. I had to look out for myself.

ITW: You also had to do chores.

L.L.: I kept the common areas clean. I liked making coffee for the gym the best.

ITW: Are you dating anyone now?

L.L: Yes, I am seeing someone. His name is Riley. I am really happy and taking it day by day.

ITW: Have you learned any useful advice you’d like to share?

L.L.: Just to stay true to yourself and respect yourself. Don’t do things for the hell of it. Karma’s a big deal, so treat others how you want to be treated.

ITW: Are you moving to New York permanently?

L.L.: Well, I will be in New York to see my brothers and sister. I think that it’s important that I am there for them. It’s good for me, too. I’ll be back and forth, bicoastal, as I have been.

ITW: There has been talk that you’ve got a big charity trip in the works, too.

L.L.: I’m planning a trip to Africa during the second week in December. I’m working with the American Red Cross, but it is not finalized yet.

ITW: Do you have a message for your supporters from all this?

L.L.: I just want to apologize to any of my fans that look up to me, especially my younger fans, for setting the examples that I didn’t mean to set. That is one of the reasons that I want to change things. I don’t want to be known as that person. I have a younger sister and she looks up to me, too. All the negative stuff that gets said hurts my feelings, it hurts my sister, Ali, and my family. Maybe me not going out as much will help. I want to do what’s right for my family as well as what is right for me.

ITW: What was the biggest lesson you learned from all this?

L.L.: I learned who I am — the real me, stripped from everything else.

ITW: So was your time in rehab a good experience?

L.L.: It’s been a great experience. I’m really grateful. Everything happens for a reason and I am in the right place now.

I think Lindsay has the potential to be a true actor, shes quite good. She just needs to clean up her act and maybe stay out of the limelight, especially if shes fresh out of rehab. She shouldnt give the media the time of day right now.

JUNKIES WHY ARE YOU YELLING?????????
and re-read misty's posts why don't you. she's no stalker, but people like to think the worse and make your little comments i know. if you would have read it and comprehended what she said you would have seen that she went back to re-read the posts that purpleisafruit posted because she wanted to find out who this person was that had said she was fuc*ked up.
comprehend anything now?
as to your first comment about paris, jolie, and LL doing so much good...
LL hasn't stepped foot in Africa, so she hasn't helped anyone, saying it for an interview sounds real good..but action is what is important, not empty words. I'll believe it when I see it, (she herself said nothing had been finalized yet)
#2 when did Paris help anyone that she didn't try to exploit her own self? Going to Hospitals to help? She claimed to have volunteered at a children's hospital in LA but only stayed for 15 minutes...what did she do? that's not even time enough to say hi and read a book! It's clear she only wanted the publicity.
And don't get me started on the whole Angelina stuff. Yeah, she adopted some kids, because she likes to be needed. It's funny how she could do it in privacy so there wouldn't be so much press and paparazzi, but people knew well in advance about every move they make. It's because they leak it themselves for more attention. Britney does it with her antics, JOLIE does it with her kids. I hope her kids do grow up "healthy" but somehow I find it hard to believe these kids are gonna get a normal life because it's just not stable and they have a lack of normal relationships int heir lives. All the money and bodyguards and nannies can't makeup for true friendship. Angelina cant even make up with her own father, she doesnt care about the kids having a relationship with their grandfather, all she cares about is her own hate. It's all about her and what she thinks,no one else. So yeah, these people are doing a whole lot of good for others...only if the celebrities get something out of it first.

WETHER THIS IS AN ACT OR THE TRUTH AT LEAST SHES HELPING OUT EOPLE IN AFRICA, ATLEATS PARIS IS HELPING PEOPLE IN HOSPITALS AT LEAST ANGELIBNA IS ADOPTING CHILDREN FROM THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES SO THEY CAN GROW UP IN AMERICA TO LIVE A BETTER AND HEALTHY AND MORE LOVING LIFE. ATLEAST PEOPLE ARE GETTING HELP

I've got NO respect for her. She is lost confused and unable to make intelligent decisions. She needs help big time. The last thing she needs is some dude hanging around her, especially one like this. Poor Poor LL

To your comment thinking it's FU*KED up that people say Riley looks mentally ill or slow.
I think it's F'd up that you have the audacity to tell someone that ON A COMMENT Blog that they are F'd up by having a negative opinion about someone. Do I need to remind you that comment bogs would BE NOTHING without opinions.... I had some free time and because I do take offense when someone says I'm F'd up, and I just had to go back and read who you were, because you just HAVE to be a Saint in that you can tell the rest of us that we're so F'd Up!...so I went back and read some of your earlier comments..I couldn't believe you had he nerve to jump on me and others when you go around making fun of Owen Wilson's nose, calling Jessica Simpson a transvestite, you said that Paris Hilton was genuinely stupid, hypocritical, and a silly cow." When asked once if anyone thought Nicole Ritchie was really pregnant you said "she's like those pictures you see of starving children with their big tummies. She's just malnourished. I'm betting." Umm you were wrong...when talking of P Diddy and his wife (and Seinna) you said they were all 3 pathetic and that Kim only sticks around for Diddy's money (like you know her so well right?) Diddy is a whore. Sienna is yet to show any real talent for anything other than sleeping around...and poor Marc Jacobs, this is what you said about him just because he was wearing a backpack---> My eyes! My retinas are burned by its horribleness! Naughty Marc Jacobs broke my eyes. (that was really nice of you wasn't it)
When you heard that Paris was going to jail you wrote--->I think deriving joy from someone else's pain is totally justified in this case. I thought it was hilarious when I heard this.
You also wrote--->There's a reason everyday people aren't in blockbuster movies. Ugly doesn't sell. Although, just to completely screw with my own logic - there's the example of Spiderman which has two of the fugliest actors in the lead roles -
You said Prince William looked like a horse in the face....
(OMG how could you say that about someone's looks!!! They can't help it you know)
You were so excited about Britney's upcoming performance on TV that you even wrote " I can't wait to see what happens. If it's a train wreck it'll be entertaining to watch "----NICE----so let me get this straight...it would be entertaining to you, to see someone fail and embarrass themselves, knowing they have children and family and are basically human just like you...Umm, Ok...and to think I thought you were this goodie two shoes because of the way you felt like you could speak to me about an opinion I had. PLEASSSE...you are what you call a Hypocrite!
I think getting off on someone's miserable life is 10 times worse than saying someone looks "slow"..who are you to judge people on a blog when you have left the same type of comments yourself!
First of all, POPSUGAR is a place for people to express their opinions on things...sometimes it's funny, sometimes its not..a lot of times a comment is said in an exaggerated way, just as with this situation...I'm sure he's not mentally challenged, but the people who said that were just exaggerating ....people do it ALL THE TIME..I can't stand it when there are that select few who think they are up on some pedestal and can talk down to someone for having an opinion...Matter of fact this is for all of you who are on your high horse and coming down on those of us who said he looked "slow, a loser..or what ever" Every single one of you have said something NEGATIVE about someone on this web site...so go try and sell your load of crap to someone else, because Im not buying it. People don't come to celebrity blogs for educational purposes, we all know what goes on here, so don't act SHOCKED that someone said something negative about this guy.
WAKE UP and stop patting yourselves on the back because you think you are so much better... An insult is a FREAKING insult..and don't even try to justify your insults against mine or anyone else's...your comments against people are just as hurtful, if you don't think so then you have more problems than I thought.

i think it was smart of her to arrange an interview -- i can't believe i'm using "smart" to describe any of her actions, but magazines like "ok" are going to write about everything she does out of rehab, so she's taking a peremptory step to make sure she gets her spin out there. it's really one of the most p.r.-sound things she's done in two years.
that said, i'm really pulling for her to stay clean.
